Fill a bowl with hot water.
Dip the jelly mould into the hot water three times.[3]
Place on a firm bench. Press the jelly around the edge, using your finger. Gently pull away from the edge around the whole jelly.
Turn the jelly mould onto a plate. Place your hands over both the base of the plate and the base of the mould. Shake quickly and sharply and the jelly should release.[4]

- If you are willing to prepare your jelly mould before adding the jelly mixture to set, you can use an alternative method. This method involves rinsing the mould in cold water and coating it with salad oil. After the jelly has set, it will not only unmould very easily but there will be a glossy look to your jelly.Thanks

About This Article
If you’ve made a jelly but want to make sure it doesn’t break when you unmould it, break the vacuum with warm water. First, fill a bowl that’s larger than the jelly mould with warm water. Once you put the mould in the water, allow it to stand for a few seconds, then remove it. When you turn the jelly out, it should keep its shape perfectly. You can also fill a bowl with hot water and dip the jelly mould into it 3 times. Then, press the edges of the mould and gently pull the jelly away from it. Place your hands over the base of your plate and the base of the mould, shake quickly, and the jelly should release. To learn how to release your jelly with cold water, keep reading!
